Theme: Humanizing the World

TEDxDeusto aims to achieve an ambitious goal: to showcase inspiring stories on how to humanize the world. TEDxDeusto wants to bring together the people able to make this change begin to happen and let them be part of a new stream, which will arise from key ideas and inspiring stories shared by extraordinary speakers. We want to rethink the way we do things today, in order to achieve better results tomorrow. In order to Humanize the World.
